Part of Vertex project. In this fusion of acrylic, pastel, I've captured the fluid dance between reality and reflection. The semi-abstract figures, draped in symbolic strokes, represent the dualities we face—the seen and unseen, the light and dark. This fine art piece is a visual poem of the soul's reflection, inviting for contemplation and dilaogue. The aesthetics of symmetry in nature, and symmetry of reflection, represents symmetry in force /leading/ lines. In other words, the search for symmetry could be a creative act if one realizes the apparent framework of the known answer: it is part of the conceptual aesthetics in which rational assessment is a recurring stage after the inclusion of intuition and pure imagination. In the composition, the logic of the reflection has been changed /with a reference outside the physical phenomenon/, in the direction of the idea of subjective reflection in the eyes of others. The reflections /and not the figures themselves/ have an enhanced spatial materiality, separating themselves in bas-relief from the pictorial surface and reinforcing the sculptural logics of my pictorial auto-concept. They convey the underlying metaphoric symbolism as ‘specific objects’*, dialectically relativized. They "mislead" us that it is simply a physical reflection. But such are the lies of the artist - they tell the truth instead of hiding it... --------- * ‘Specific Objects’ /1965/ is an essay by the American critic and minimalist artist Donald Judd /1928-1994/. --------- The technique is acrylic and pastel on paper in the aesthetics of the "Sediment Process" on which I have been working for several years. It is a concept for visual language, based on mathematical logic and linear perspectives. The expressive units are multiple sections. It focuses on the artistic gesture and the idea of the aesthetics of slow motion – an ethical opportunity to observe the deviation phase and more generally... for understanding and tolerance beyond the ego.
